"A beautifully simple session beer with a stunning balance of hops and malt - a new taste sensation."

Cask, King’s Head, Carlisle. Rich, smoky and malty with a bitter, almost metallic, edge that continues well into the finish. This is offset by a soft, peaty aroma but it’s a little too harsh a beer for me.

Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms JDW, Bristol 7/02/09. Reddish brown in colour with a slight, off-white head. Caramel aroma with some red fruit and floral hops. Plenty of malt in the flavour, with more fruit, a hint of roastiness and a pleasant bitter finish. Good.

Handpulled cask at JDW Hatch End, Harrow. Dark red/brown with an off whte head in the freshest condition. Very much a scottish beer with an abundance of malt and little in the way of hop bitterness yet quite well balanced and dry in the finish. It went down a treat with one of spoons excellent Thursday curry deals.

Cask at The Barony, Edinburgh. A red-orange beer with a cream colored head. The arom ais sweet malty with strong notes of caramel, but also light notes of flowery hops. The flavor is sweet malty with primary notes of berries as well as a light touch of roasted malt, leading to a dry bitter finish. The body is thin.

A Mes rate: Cask at Baker St. ’Sporks.Dark brown with a bubbly but decent head and lots of lace. Quite toasty with some caramel and nutty notes and nice malt. good malt and hop balance in the finish. Not bad.

2cm white head tops the clear amber body. Strong cereal aroma presents obtrusive sugary bread flavours, rather grainy as well. Almost flat and seriously sweet which makes it not very drinkable. A slice of sandy bitterness attempts to cut through, but remains inefficient. No fruitiness. Quite dull, buttery and hard to drink in large quantities.
